MARXIST-POSTGRUNGE

every time i scroll past a vince staples ziwe clip i have to watch it again. he said lgbtq+ i support the whole diaspora lmao. if america meant anything he would be our number one celebrity

just remembered the bar a took me to which i hadn’t been to (he had previously taken us to a bar i had been to because it’s emily’s bar but she was in ann arbor and without her there to enforce limp bizkit law the cultural situation was out of control) well at this bar he said there’s old lesbians there and i was like ok well thank you for telling me that. i started to tell him about the lesbian bar that has too many young people at it but instead of finishing the story (i find it distasteful they listen to seventies gay men music as if we don’t have our own cultures, including nineties gay men music) i just said yes i guess older lesbians are just at regular bars. when i walked in the song on was polaris. i texted nick saying they got polaris pete and pete deep cuts at this millennial bar in chicago. what i didn’t say was it was WAITING FOR OCTOBER?? that’s my favorite song on music from the adventures of pete & pete. later i would learn this is what they mean on tiktok when they mention CERN. that exactly. just thought to mention this because they had also played shady lane and just now i felt like listening to shady lane (having forgotten this whole experience for a few days).

what’s that painter who does trees i don’t really like… i thought he was from ohio..

lots of ben shahn pieces with harvest work motifs not enough with planting work motifs

i guess i don’t know how else to ask this but have any of you had a partner who committed suicide and if yes can i give your number or twitter handle to my friend who that happened to also

remind me to tell you the story of me dropping my fuckass adderalls and benzos and ibuprofens and magnesiums all over the floor in the museum

atulya is having her own spiritual misery and i accidentally made her go to wicker park

teaching matias about “those are his hooves you bitch” at the de kooning show

having emotions

i need a weekend away to fix me

i need to see matias so bad because i’m having so many emotional problems i need to talk about and i need to see atulya because i’m having spiritual problems

as is often this case i’m not going to ALA but i’ll be in town for it if you happen to be in chicago for it :)

meanwhile archivist positions in yiddish collecting institutions want you to have a phd in german studies and most of the job is the most nightmare hellhole development work you can imagine or else it’s (like all museums) elementary school tours (no offense to elementary students)

explaining yiddish work like… can i catalog yiddish materials? yes, i believe absolutely i can catalog any yiddish material you give me. am i relying on the fact that you don’t have any options better than me? also yes. do you think there are no yiddish materials in your local collections? wrong, there’s probably one to ten yiddish materials. for example, pictures of street signs from 1911. i can translate that. it says kosher butcher
